"We are hoping City loses some points but in the Premier League you never know, anything is possible," Suarez said. "Now we have to win the next two games and it is not going to be easy."

On the Chelsea defeat, he added: "I'm still upset, it was so frustrating, we couldn't find spaces and we made a mistake and it was hard to deal with. We knew the game was going to be hard and tight but it was frustrating when they were using up time.

"I was upset because of our mistake; we all got nervous and lost control. It was impossible to find spaces to get in."
